A 'ballad' is basically a story poem, but one which tells only the main points of a story. Ballads usually have little or no characterisation, and very limited description of people or places. A ballad just cuts to the chase: like a cartoon or an action film. In English, many ballads are written in Ballad Metre. But you don't have to write a ballad in Ballad Metre, it is the way you tell the story that makes your poem a ballad. Southey wrote many ballads. The Inchcape Rock is a good example: a simple story, simply told. Southey gives very little time to describing where the story happens, or what the characters in his story are thinking:- he just gets on with the tale.
